Q.: My download stalled. What should I do?

A: The database has a file size of approx. 1.5 GB. It is best to access the download link from a fast (campus) connection. Slower connections may eventually time-out. ---Q.: I successfully downloaded the ZIP archive. But it does not open / expand properly.

A: Your download timed out with only an incomplete ZIP archive. Re-access the download link from a faster internet connection. ---

I M A G E SQ.: Do you have other images besides those included in the CFD?

A: All publicly available images are included in the database. We continue to collect new images for inclusion in the CFD and will make them available with revised releases of the database. Check back regularly with chicagofaces.org for any available updates. ---

Q.: I just need a few images, matched for certain criteria. Can you send me those images instead of the full database?

A: Feel free to download the CFD and select the images that match your criteria using the supplied norming data.
